Books and Education to Inspire Personal Journeys
Now is usually the BEST time, however we realise that is not always possible. But your walking journeys should be thought of as opportunities that need to be seized and acted upon while your interest is high, as other life matters can soon occupy your time.
Setting Priorities will help you with your Planning
SET a MONTH and a YEAR to begin your Walk:
No more of "I'll do it next year". Decide upon a specific date for your walk. The date can be anytime that is appropriate for your life situation.
THE SPECIFIC DATE HELPS you to commit to your new walking adventure, and not be waylaid by other perhaps secondary events. You'll find that once you have set a date, it will come around sooner than you thought it would. As the Romans said - "Carpe Diem" - Seize the Day.
